Adtran Launches White Rabbit Software for Sub-Nanosecond Synchronization
Adtran has announced the launch of White Rabbit on its Oscilloquartz timing platforms, offering sub-nanosecond synchronization for industries requiring ultra-precise timing. This software-based approach extends the capabilities of IEEE 1588 PTP with techniques such as precise delay calibration and phase tracking, allowing for sub-nanosecond accuracy. Metrology labs, financial institutions, data centers, and research organizations can now benefit from superior data consistency, efficiency, and performance.
Unlike other White Rabbit implementations that need dedicated hardware, Adtran’s solution can be easily integrated into existing Oscilloquartz timing solutions through a software upgrade. The OSA 5412, OSA 5422, OSA 5430, and OSA 5440 timing solutions now feature White Rabbit, enabling stable synchronization over fiber and across multiple sites. This enhancement ensures precise timing, crucial for industries where even the smallest deviations can impact operations.
Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz at Adtran, stated that ultra-precise timing is now essential for industries requiring real-time data synchronization. By integrating White Rabbit into their PTP grandmaster solutions, Adtran aims to make sub-nanosecond synchronization more accessible for their customers.
Igal Pinhasov, VP of Product Line Management at Oscilloquartz, highlighted the importance of accurate time synchronization in critical network infrastructure. By pushing precision beyond a single nanosecond and into the picoseconds range, Adtran’s White Rabbit technology allows organizations to timestamp events with certainty, eliminate timing drift, and support advanced applications in science and communications. This level of accuracy enables the next generation of high-performance infrastructure and reinforces Adtran’s position as a leader in high-precision timing solutions.
